Raucous Virginia school board meeting on transgender rights cut short |
2021-06-24 |
[NYPOST] Two people were arrested during a fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... public meeting Tuesday night of an embattled Virginia school board, which cut off public comments when a fight erupted during discussions on a proposal on transgender rights, according to reports. More than 300 people attended the raucous meeting — many voicing opposition to the proposed Policy 8040, which would require teachers to use a child’s preferred gender pronouns, Loudoun Now reported. Former state Sen. Dick Black also assailed the board for its push to include Critical Race Theory ...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites and Asians are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense... in the curriculum, claiming that it teaches kids to hate others because of their skin color. The crowd repeatedly cheered public speakers who slammed school board members and denounced the plan that would provide bathroom and locker room access based on students’ gender identities. Transgender student-athletes would be allowed to participate on teams based on their gender identity, and teachers and staff would be required to use students’ preferred pronouns. |

#10 #4 You can't fix public schools. This is correct. Even with supposed "local control," a parent or group of parents is up against a leviathan. You can't override the teachers unions. Better to leave the public schools entirely |

#6 ^Except, they'll not give up without a fight - neither the teachers' unions nor the institutions of "higher learning". |

#5 No you can't fix public schools, at least not in America. I suspect the system will evolve into go your own way with periodic testing for credentials for those who want to pursue them. |

#3 It costs money to hire a tutor or to pay for a private school and then you're still stuck paying taxes for the public schools. It's cheaper to fix the schools. |

#2 ^No. They better start looking for good private tutors. |

#1 Most parents are so busy working and taking care of their families that it never occurs to them to run for school board. But they better start thinking about it. |
